Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

i had an idea with the new rep system you could get after a certain level Sponsorships for races like gett8ing a 5% more payed out from races and since you can work for more companies you can get more sponsors and so fourth
also it would be cool to get some races from free roam into career like the new drift races

 

Am I missing something, or can the loaner MD60 with the fifth wheel not actually couple fifth wheel trailers? Used the world editor to spin the trailer around, and i can hit the kingpin repeatedly, and activate couplers with L, but nothing happens.

This is very annoying and it's not just you.

 

The ew Ui for the deliveries is a huge step forward, but we still need a few features:

- We cant see how many slots each cargo needs in the list on the left. Needing to mouse over every item to see the needed slots is a step backwards from before 0.3 amd there is a lot of space on every rectangle on the left, so there is really no reason not to show that
- Why aren't destinations on the left highlighted that we already have cargo for loaded on the vehicle? That would speed up everything a whole lot, because that's most of the time the first thing everyone is taking as a load. Just a different color for the rectangle would help a lot.
- When thinking about that, sometimes the own vehicle is damaged and you just want to end all the deliveries to drive back to a garage to repair. A Button to just load up cargo that goes to destinations we already have cargo loaded for would be great. Maybe even before opening the whole cargo screen because the ui is so slow. This would be especially helpfull in places like the 3 cargo spots at Torres Tires because they are all at the same location pretty much.
- is there no button to navigate to a destination we have cargo for directly in the cargo screen anymore? I use the automatic route planner like 95% of the time, it's really great! ...but sometimes just having the route
to one destination that has time depending cargo can be really important.
- Can we set the mirrors in career mode please? the default positions are really bad. I see half of my vehicle in the side mirrors in VR. While my grey sh*tboxes are really beatifull, I'd like to see more of the road.

I am as excited as always to see the career mode growing and growing.

 

I think buying cars on location needs some work, so I just drove to the place the game spawned the car for sale and went parking and the game said "You have left the sale." then despawned the car. Just driving by shouldn't count as "left", any normal person with some sense will allow the buyer to park their car then walk back to the sale. The car should only be marked as "approached" if you walked up to it on foot.

 

something I've noticed: SuperSpecialIngredients is too long and needs a line break so the click box doesn't get stretched


minor issues here and there (e.g. trailer dropped off correctly but the task is still there) but after all a good update! thank you for cleaning up the parts and vehicles inventory!

(please ignore the balance, I was messing with RLS and the rewards for everything went off the hook... it's now deactivated again)

 

minor pricing issue right here, id change the pricing for these bad boys so its not all the same

 

Will there be anything bus-related?

 

I've been doing the Dockyard Drift mission in career mode and I can't tell if speed isn't part of the equation at all or if it's just severely undervalued because I was kinda struggling to get that 5th star until I started deliberately trying to go as slowly as possible. It also would be really appreciated if the A to B missions also had a more obvious precision bonus similar to marked zones and clips in real drifting or the newly added cones to knock over in this game's gymkhana mode.

Also the Mount Wallis dev mission with the thumbnail of the old 200BX still shows up for me and I'm not sure why

 

i believe the dev mission is there since career dropped

 

I thought I reported that like 2-3 updates ago.

 

Wanted to thank the Beam Dev team for listening to my issues with the old config thumbnail generator although I don't know if you can make the images export in more than just jpg, but it is sooo much more useful and convenient that the generator has ever been

I also wanted to ask if the Dev team are still working on the issues with the Miramar? talking about the rally lights on the bumper, the rally lights on the fenders & the rear mudflaps not being visible for some reason and the rally livery that was added with 0.33 but was broken so was removed with the first hot fix. i thought that the safari rally configs and its unique parts would be fixed by now?

I have just opened the game to find that the invisible parts are now visible so that's good (any and all fixes for the miramar were not listed in the 33.3 patch notes) but sadly the livery is still not back and now i think the "safari_rally" config is now removed

 

oh, and on a more career related note are there plans to be able to change the "nicename" from within the game itself? it'd be really convenient if so

 

I don't know where to post this, but i get this lua error, I can rev it but steering and shifting doesn't work whenever i try to Testdrive/Drive the T-Series and i disabled all t-series mods already but still.
FYI in Freeroam the t-series works with all mods enabled
